SUSTEC PRO SEVEN. ACTIVE SUSPENSION

ALL PURPOSE CHANGE DAMPING FORCE WITH SPEED

Sustec Pro SEVEN is an all new adjustable coilover that features a wide array of all new circuit-developed technology that has not been available until now. While similar in appearance, the SEVEN is completely different from any suspension currently available.

The new slide valve technology allows a great range of adjustability and function from comfort to pure competitive motorsports use. When used with the new TEAS electronic active suspension controller, the wide range of dampening force is accessible through the touch of a button and is fully programmable to automatically adjust dampening rates according to the speed you drive. In addition to TEAS, SEVEN is also available as a special "Hard Driving" version, for strictly motorsports use.

Competition Spec PRO210 Race Spring

A higher spring rate for motorsports applications. Excellent handling, and most importantly, controllable traction is immediately noticeable through the use of the race developed spring.

PRO210 was developed for extreme durability and balance. The spring has the highest tensile strength available due to our unique manufacturing process.

Case Length & Preload Adjustment, Dampening Adjustable

Both case length and preload are adjustable.

Preload can be adjusted for special settings, while full suspension stroke can be retained or altered with the case length settings. An extreme range of height settings are available with this suspension to suit any driver's needs or preferences for height and weight distribution.

Dampening may be changed in 12 or 16(with TEAS) settings across a wide range of actual dampening force.

Ultra Heaby Duty Construction

The front suspension of a race vehicle experiences the most abuse, therefore a special dual plate stamped steel bracket is used. This bracket is extremely rugged and resists damage where most suspensions fall short.

The rear suspension features a high tensile CNC forged aluminum knuckle that is both lightweight and rigid. The ruggedness of the bracketry on this suspension exceeds even OEM vehicle standards.

Reinforced Piston, Reinforced Valving

The oversized shock piston is fully reinforced to resist flexing or snapping.

The internal valving of the SEVEN is also fully reinforced for increased and rapidly changing loads experienced during drifting. The internals resist oil and gas "foaming" and overheating of the internal components which can detract from performance when driving under extreme conditions for extended amounts of time.

Durable Spring Seat & Lock Nut

Constructed of forged aluminum, longevity and superior strength is ensured. Additionally, the threaded portion of the casing is chemically treated to resist rest and corrosion.

Upper Mounts Included

Solid mounting pillowball or rubber upper mounts are included on the front and rear of the Sustec Pro SEVEN.

These uppermounts have the added benefit of having front adjustable camber plates for fixing or modifying camber settings beyond factory limitations. Solid pillowball upper mounts prevent suspension geometry changes under various suspension loads.

Compatible with TEAS (Tanabe Electric Active Suspension

By itself, SEVEN is an extremely solid multi-purpose suspension.

With the new TEAS (Tanabe Electric Active Suspension) controller, SEVEN reaches new levels of suspension tuning. Sustec Pro SEVEN is 100% compatible with the TEAS controller and its actuators.


SEVEN MEANS THE GREATEST DAMPENING RANGE
The Slide Valve of the SUSTEC PRO SEVEN allows a massive range of Actual Dampening Force, meaning each dampener setting greatly changes the personality and handling of the vehicle. This allows SEVEN to serve complete comfort as well as pure racing agility in a single package.

Competitor dampers have a much smaller dampening adjustment range due to limitations of their internal valving design, resulting in setting changes that are virtually unnoticeable. Each of SUSTEC PRO SEVEN’S damper settings have impact and purpose, allowing the pilot to conquer all types of driving. SEVEN lets the automotive enthusiast enjoy every form of automotive sports.
This shock dynograph tested the actual dampening force of the Sustec Pro SEVEN versus "F Type 16-setting dampener" of a competitor; both applications were for the DC5 chassis. Although both dampers feature the same amount of dampener settings (16 steps), the actual speeds and force of compression and rebound greatly vary.

Sustec Pro SEVEN has the true dampening function that proves that the number of dampener settings (8,16,32,64, etc) does not always equal actual performance.
